(e) a zine you're nervous about lending out in case it doesn't make it back to you (which can happen for a whole host of reasons; your friend is not greedy or sly!);<br />
(f) you do not charge your friend (or anyone) for copying it for them.<br />

What's your stance on the topic? Are there variables I've omitted that make any difference? Does copyright come into it? Is there an unspoken consensus on this that I've never unearthed in 20+ years of reading zines?!<br />
<br />
I'm really curious to hear what people think about this.<br />
